Most of the houses in the district were built betueen 1850 and 1910, with the 1870's being the period of greatest develop­ ment. While the houses are built in a variety of styles, the overall visual quality of the neighborhood is defined by the large building lots, the two and a half story building elevations, the siting of the houses back from sidewalks, and the large trees. Several major church buildings are found in the area and their tall spires serve as focal points. Although some of the houses have been converted to businesses, there are a feu business blocks within the district, and these lie on the fringes. (See .Photos #50,#51;Map ,#50,#51) --,.;.-.,. ^ The earliest houses built in the district uere in the Uictprian Italianate style, .Most .of'these are of brick construction withi two an.9 a...... half story elevations; heavy window mouldings and bracketed cornices are the distinguishing decorative details. More typical of the Italianate houses in the district are the Benjamin Harrison Hau.se (already listed on the National Register) and the Eden-Talbott House at; 1336 IM. Delaware Sts. (See pictures #1A and IB, Map #1) The two houses were built within two years of each other - 1876 and 1878 respectively - and both are brick, two and a half stories, with plain window architraves but elaborated heads, wooden bracketed cornices, and frieze windows. The Eden-Talbott House is, however, symmetrical, with a five bay facade with a central entrance pavi'llioh of three story elevation. The pavillion ca.mpqsitipn includes the entrance, with a carved stone surround and prominent keystone';' th'e freystrine ah'd flanking brackets support a small, carved stone Balustrade marking the second level of.the pavillion. (See picture #1C)" The second floor window .opening, repeats, tj.he, ground floor motif on a smaller sc.ale, with keystone segmental arch and brackets also supporting a sifiall balustrade. The third floor window has1 a round a"rcHed ! • head; flanking pilasters carry brackets that support the segmentally-arched roof. Flanking the central pavillion, windows of the main facade are segmentally arched with moulded heads featuring exaggerated keystone motifs. The cornice is flat, with brackets and a frieze of alternating panelled and glazed sections. On the north side of the house, there is a portecoGhere with round arched openings that feature prominent keystones; the cornice repeats the motifs on the cornice of the main house. (See picture #1A) On the south wall, a porch was remodeled into a bays windowt late in the nineteenth century.

Born February 7, 1801, in Augusta, New York, Butler moved with his family to Indiana in 1817. After practicing law in Shelbyville from 1825 to 1836, Butler moved to Indianapolis where he practiced law until 1849. His law partner of eleven years, Calvin Fletcher, considered himself blessed to have such a partner, and called Butler “a man of strict integrity great dilligence & integrity” (Diary of Calvin Fletcher, vol. 3, p. 198, Saturday, October 11, 1845). Although ill health led Butler to retire from his law practice in 1849, his involvement in a variety of civic causes continued. Butler was an active supporter of the antislavery movement. In 1848 he was elected as vice president of Indiana’s Free Soil Party, and backed the Free Soil Banner, a campaign paper for the party.

    The Founding of Butler University, 1847-1855 Henry K. Shaw* Butler University at Indianapolis was the first institution of higher learning among the Christian churches (Disciples of Christ) to originate by action within the ecclesiastical structure of the denomination. Known as North Western Christian University for many years, it came into existence through the concerted effort of the Christian churches of Indiana. This religious body was fairly well established in the state by 1847, when the idea of a college was conceived. If the only known printed statistics are correct, there were some 300 churches with 19,914 members at the time. A church publication lists 130 preachers, but most of these were preach- ing laymen and not settled pastors.’ The denomination began in Indiana through the merging of dissident factions of Regular, Freewill, and German Baptist (Dunkard) congregations into the Campbell move- ment, which had its beginnings in western Virginia and northern Ohio, and the Stone movement, which had its origin primarily with former Presbyterian congregations in Ken- tucky. Since Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone had similar objectives and a common program and since repre- sentatives from both groups had made a declaration of formal union at Lexington, Kentucky, in 1832, it was natural that these two “frontier” religious bodies should join forces in Indiana. Stone’s followers were called Christians and their churches, Christian churches. Campbell’s followers were called Reformers and Disciples. The name “Disciples of Christ” was preferred by Campbell to designate his movement. In Indiana, churches originating from both groups took the name, “Christian churches.” There was little or no organized structure within the denomination at first, simply independent congregations hold- * Henry K.

  • Crown Hill Walking Tour of Indianapolis' Bicentennial Notables
    2020 Crown Hill Walking Tour of Indianapolis’ Bicentennial Notables 1. Alexander Ralston (1771-1827) Born in Scotland, Ralston immigrated to the U.S. following the Revolutionary War. He served as personal assistant to Pierre L’Enfant in 1791 during his planning for Washington, D.C. Hired in 1820 to survey land for Indianapolis on a 4-mile plat of dense forest. Inspired by his work with L’Enfant, he designed a Mile Square plan consisting of a central circle with four radiating avenues bisecting a grid of streets. Lot 30, Section 3 (Pictured) 2. John Washington Love (1850-1880) The artist’s palette on the side of Love Family monument is a fitting tribute to this artist. He was the co-founder of the first professional art school in Indianapolis and Indiana. Unfortunately, death at age 30 from “congestion of the stomach” cut short what might have been a very noted career as a painter. Lot 3, Section 3 3. Richard J. Gatling, M.D. (1818-1903) Doctor and prolific inventor best known for his invention of the Gatling gun in 1861, considered the first successful machine gun. He believed his invention would end all wars. Lot 9, Section 3 4. Hiram Bacon (1801-1881) His farm included an area still called Bacon’s Swamp, now a lake just west of Keystone between Kessler and 54th Street in the middle of a retirement community. According to some sources, he used his barn as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Lot 43, Section 3 5. Horatio Newcomb (1821-1882) Indianapolis elected its first mayor in 1847, Samuel Henderson, who left town in 1849 in pursuit of California Gold.

  • Green Line Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    Memo To: Whom it may concern From: Jen Higginbotham, Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization Date: August 12, 2020 Re: Green Line Rapid Transit Study DEIS: Status The Green Line is a proposed a rapid transit solution for the northeast corridor of Central Indiana, from Downtown Indianapolis to Noblesville, primarily using the Nickel Plate Railroad corridor. In 2014, the Indiana General Assembly passed enabling legislation that would allow the use of County Option Income Taxes for transit maintenance and improvement in counties and townships who opted in. The enabling legislation also prohibited the use of these transit taxes on rail technology. In 2015, during the environmental study phase of the Green Line, feasibility issues including route, vehicle technology, and financial sustainability were identified. With technology and source of funding in question, the Federal Transit Administration encouraged the MPO to put the remainder of the environmental study on hold until more specifics on the future of the Green Line could be determined. As a result, this project has not completed FTAs legal sufficiency review. At a joint meeting on July 31, 2017 the City of Fishers, City of Noblesville, and Hamilton County Commissioners voted to convert the Nickel Plate line into a recreational trail from 96th Street in Fishers to Pleasant Street in Noblesville. With the rail corridor now unavailable for transit, and technology and funding questions remaining, the MPO has no timeline for resuming Green Line planning. Attached to this memo is the August 18, 2015 Draft Environmental Impact Statement, which has not been updated since that date, and a letter from FTA, dated March 11, 2016.

  • One Hundred Fifty Years in Broad Ripple
    ONE HUNDRED FIFTY YEARS IN BROAD RIPPLE CELEBRATING METHODISM’S OUTPOST FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN BROAD RIPPLE 1852-2002 Compiled, written, and edited by Donald E. Mattson, 150th Anniversary Celebration Committee Broad Ripple United Methodist Church PREFACE Our introduction to Broad Ripple remains etched in my memories. A serendipitous event brought us into this fellowship. Thirty-three years ago on the Sunday following Labor Day, Carol and I went “church shopping.” We had just moved to a home in Butler-Tarkington that week. While shopping at Kroger’s, Carol saw a Methodist church and suggested we visit it. I recall sitting near the front on the right side. After the organist finished playing the prelude, there was silence. Then, Jim Rodeheffer stood in a row behind us and began singing, Come Christians, Join to Sing! Other choir members joined with him and moved to the choir loft. Dr. Floyd Cook, the minister, sat at the other end of our pew and took his place. We both enjoyed our experience that morning and never visited another church. Carol joined the choir and we found in the choir an extended family embracing first us and then Erick and Erin. In December 2001, Laura Eller, the Celebration Committee Chair, asked me to compile the congregation’s history. I knew I faced challenges. Previous histories revealed substantial gaps. I began my research with a dusty box of records in the stage storeroom plus others I found in the attic. Further research required visits to the library at Christian Theological Seminary, the microfilm room at the Central Library, the Indiana Historical Society, the Indiana State Library, and the Methodist Archives at DePauw University.

  • Crown Hill's Origin and Development.Pub
    CROWN HILL’S ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT Beauty of the Cemetery Due to Unselfish Spirit and Wise Management. NATURE’S CHARMS PRESERVED Consistent Course by Which Effects of Serenity, Peace and Seclusion Have Been Maintained. “The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.” So wrote the English poet Shelley concerning the Protestant cemetery in Rome, in which by a strange coincidence, he himself was finally laid to rest. The same thought would apply in some degree to Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Not that it is “an open space among ruins,” like the little cemetery at Rome, for though it is surrounded by all the marks of modern progress. The atmosphere of sacred seclusion that pervades the inclosure seems to say to the waves of worldly activity that surround its borders, “Thus far shalt thou come but no farther.” The living who pass its portals fine themselves at once in an atmosphere entirely distinct from that they left behind, and the dead who find their final resting place amid its quiet borders must feel grateful, if the dead experience human emotions, that their mortal remains have been buried in so sweet a place. Crown Hill cemetery is a product of evolution, and is typical of the growth of Indianapolis through various stages from a frontier settlement to a straggling village, a capital in the woods, a sleepy country town, a prosperous railroad center, a robust community feeling its strength and demanding recognition, to a metropolitan city of national fame.
